I want to send the contents of a variable to a class where it can be used in its functions. Since I have no experience with object orientated programming what so ever I tried to break it down into real simple code so I can understand better what's going on and how I can implement it in my main code.I made a test file and a test class, basicly I just want to give a variable contents in my main code, then send the variable to the class so the class can trace it. But no matter how I try it i always get "Testoop.as, Line 6 1120: Access of undefined property test.Here is the code:
so this is the FLA:
import Testoop;
var test:String;
ive written a class to control my content panels on my site. They work well! Currently they controll all the positioning perfectly on there own. What I am having trouble with, is how do i pass variables into my classes. For instance, my main content panel, has variables in the class: public var contentState:Number; Now, what I would like to do, is have movieClips on my stage, or 'buttons' that will be able to change 'contentState' within my class.How do i go about passing these variables?[code]
I've traditionally all my as3 code in one included .as file, not as packages / class files, but I'm trying to make that transition. I'm a little confused about how to pass information back and forth among class files though. For example, what I'm trying to make is a sort of node diagram where clicking on a certain node will sprout out its child nodes, and clicking on a child node will sprout out its children, etc. I have a main class, Main.as, which I was going to make parse an XML document and store an array of all the relevant data for each node (things like a title, link, etc). Then I have a class file called Node.as which actually builds the node, adds it to the stage, and sets up its listeners and the motion tweens.
My question is - if all the information for the nodes is stored in Main.as, but the click handling is done in Node.as, how does Node.as know what attributes to assign to each added node (i.e., how does it access the array from Main.as to assign properties to the clips created)?[code]...
I have two custom as3 classes, TriviaGame and TriviaQuestion, and I am attempting to retrieve a bitmap image stored in TriviaQuestion and have found it impossible thus far.
It seems the root of my problem is that bitmap is somehow null in my GetImage() function, even though it is class data that has been set earlier in ImageLoaded(). The only time I am able to access the bitmap's info (in order to add it to the display) is inside ImageLoaded().
In TriviaQuestion.as, loading the image: private function XMLLoadedHandler (e:Event):void { xml = new XML(e.target.data);
I need to pass a boolean variable initially set to false to one of my classes called "EasyGame".It is than changed to true when one of the function in this class is runned.
What I want to do is pretty simple but I must not know how to do it. I want the URLFactory to create the Array and store it in the variable "dataArray" and use the Array in the Main class by calling the GetList() of the URLFactory class. What I have returns nothing...
Basically I need to set a variable equal to URLLoader.data (var something:String = URLLoader.data) so I can use this variable in other classes.
There are many tutes on the web on how to make interface elements, such as drop down menus, or accordion menus. The example Menu Class includes all the event listeners and functions. It invariably ends with the CLICK event function tracing some comment so you know it works. But no information on how to implement the Menu Class. So say you have a Main Document Class that instantiates a Menu Class. How can you pass the CLICK event back to the Main Document Class to do something with it? As far as I can see, the Menu Class can build the menu but all the listeners and functions for it have to reside in the Main Document Class. Or do you have to build a custom Class that extends the Event Class?
I have a swf with an input text box and a button. When the button is clicked, i need it to open another swf in a new window and pass the variables to a text box in the new window.
Imagine you have one main document class wherein you have some variables that make your objects move or roatate. Now, you make another class in which, for instance, you draw a rectangle (with the graphics class) and want the rectangle rotate in the same way your other objects on the stage rotate. You'd probably wish to access the variables from your main class, so as to asign their values to your rectangle rotation velocity. The question is: how to access those values? Is it even possible to share variabless across all the classes?
I have a variable in an as2 movie, urlwholoadedme =_level0._url; , that i need i need to pass to an as3 swf that gets loaded ((loadMovieNum("movietoload.swf", 1); ). what is the most efficient way to do this?
I am using CS3 and I write the following code as to pass variable to flash from PHP
Actionscript
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); myLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT; var myRequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://localhost/moodle/value.php");
I am trying to load an AS2 swf from an AS3 swf. The AS2 swf which was written long back, expects parameters from the timeline(_root). These were passed to it before from HTML using flashvars. Now I am trying to get rid of the HTML pages, by directly loading the AS2 swf from the AS3 swf. However, when I try to load the AS2 swf using the Loader class, the swf loads fine, but the parameters are not getting passed on.
I tried to add the query string to the url parameter I used in the URL request used for the Loader, but that did not work.(Adding URL variables as data to URLRequest did not work either.)
I want to have a button and when clicked, it does the equivelent of going to this php address and executes the php, as it would by typing into address bar. Simply activates php script with variables.
What I have is a list of videos (FLV) and when I click on avideo name (button) I want the menu page to close, open anotherpage (the video interface page) and play the video that was chosen.I do not want the video to play on the menu page but on it's owninterface page. I am guessing I will need to save the String namein an outside file for the video class to grab. Once the video hasfinished playing I want to go back to the menu page.
What I am trying to do is pull data from an XML file so that I can store paramaters for my FLV player (i.e. flv link, dimensions, video name, etc) I can get the data from the XML file and story it in a dictionary but I am unable to access the data from my main class. I know it has to be something pretty simple but I think i have been looking at it to long to see it.
// Main.as package includes.action{ import fl.video.FLVPlayback; import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; import flash.net.URLLoader; import flash.utils.Dictionary; import includes.action.XMLData; public class Main extends Sprite[code]..........
basically with all my traces this is what I get back...
// Trace dataVIDOEXML COUNT: undefinedELEMENTS: nullMAIN:LINK: nullWe are in LoadXMLname - no get: mortgagename - get: mortgage
The trace for Elements and Main:Link should give me back the name of the video but as of yet its either returning NULL or undefined.
I've done a search and all I could find are creating global variables through Classes.
Is there a way of creating them on the timeline? I have a preloader.swf that loads another swf to itself and would like to read the values off of the parent.
I'm building a simple Pong-esque game and I've 'hit' a problem. I'm having an issue with referencing one variable from one class into another. Sounds confusing to me, even harder to understand.
Basically I've got this in my "game.as" class:
ActionScript Code: public var pongBall:ball;
and in my "player1.as" class I am trying to get said ball to bounce off the player's bat on contact. I think I have the coding right for it apart from trying to link it to the ball from game.as! So far I have this:
ActionScript Code: public function bounceTest (event:Event) { if (this.hitTestObject("game.as".startGame.pongBall)) {
ActionScript Code: class Vector2d extends Math { private var x:Number;
[Code]....
I can't seem to get my private variable, x, to be private. From my understanding of private variables, tracing n.x should throw an error, and adding 150 should throw an error. I've tried changing the variable's name, and the cast type, to no avail. The first trace goes through, the addition goes through, and the second trace goes through.
I'm new to classes, so I could easily be overlooking something vital. But the vars need to be private, because I want to use get/set to update the variables when one or another changes. For instance, if 50 is added to the y value, the magnitude and unit vectors would change, so I want to update them using getMag and getUnit. That whole system would be thrown off if the user had direct access to the properties.
Let's say someone clicks a next button in the FormClass. That dispatches an event "nextForm". Documentclass is listening for this event, and displays the next page. But it needs to read a value (selected radiobutton) from the ListClass. What would be the best way to get this variable to the documentclass?
I am having this issue were I can not access any variables from any other class![code]Now, from my other variables, that is what I do, I don't understand what I am doing wrong?
I need to know how to reference variables in other classes. I have been avoiding this by referencing variables from the Main class, where they are created. But at this point I would like to be able to have the option and it would make me a better programmer.
Say I create a movieclip in the Main.as
Code: public var Enemy_mc:Enemy = new Enemy(); addChild(Enemy_mc);
[Code].....
How do I do that^ without creating a variable in Main.as and having it check Background.as for variable updates?
Can I do something like "Main.Enemy_mc += 5;" like I can do in Main.as to variables that I have created in Main in other classes?
i like to know how do u pass variables from flash to another html. mine is just one simple variable.what i get from flash Help is using GET and POST(after declaring the variables)
